That's correct. I use .S files pretty much exclusively; by doing so I can use preprocessor macros, conditional assembly, C-style comments, header files, and the like. I have never bothered with gasp because this works very well and is quite painless. Such files are processed with the gcc driver via a command like gcc -c file.S and not with gas directly. Mike -- C.
